Seeing Io lang mentioned was a trip to memory lane, back in 2005/2006 when I started to rely much more on JS for frontend interaction and client-side rendering (AJAX/XmlHttpRequest was the new shit back then, kids!) I remember studying Io as another prototype-based language, as that concept was pretty new to me and I liked Io quite a lot at the time. Unfortunately there was no use for it whatsoever in professional-world and I dropped it quite quickly.
I had completely forgotten about it until this popped up on HN so thanks for that.
